"Condensing Qi into Objects, this is the Divine Skill of Condensing Qi into Objects!"
"This massive green stone, over twenty meters high and more than five meters long, was all formed by Fairy Jia Luo using True Qi!"
Everyone was looking at the massive green stone that had suddenly appeared; although it was formed by True Qi, it was indistinguishable from a real, huge boulder, immensely thick and incredibly real, firmly rooted to the ground as if it were a natural part of the earth itself!
That Fairy Jia Luo could form such a huge stone with merely a wave of her hand, whether it be her boundless True Qi or the Divine Skill of transforming objects, was astonishing!
Truly worthy of being the strongest in the eastern region of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, a mid-stage figure of the Rotating Pill Realm, indeed in possession of countless powerful Divine Skills!
Ye Chen, witnessing the shocking True Qi boulder before him, was also deeply moved in his heart.
Although he could, with his Sword Intents and True Qi, condense the Sword of True Qi, that sword would disperse after use, nowhere near the magical ability of Condensing Qi into Objects, truly turning True Qi into various forms!
This was a Divine Skill that Ye Chen had never even touched upon or practiced before!
Seeing the Divine Skill displayed by Fairy Jia Luo with a mere gesture, Ye Chen grew even more eager to join the six-rank Taixuan Sect!
While everyone's eyes were fixed on the massive green stone, Fairy Jia Luo said, "I have laid Strength Runes on this green stone, to be used as the test object for the first round of 'Strength Test'."
"All candidates, use your strongest True Qi and most powerful martial skills to unleash your greatest strength and strike this green stone."
"The stronger the blow to the green stone, the more Strength Runes on the stone will be activated!"
"The final results of your first-round 'Strength Test' will be a comprehensive judgment based on your realm of True Qi and the number of activated Strength Runes!"
Amid Fairy Jia Luo's words, everyone noticed that hundreds of rune lines were slowly emerging on the surface of the massive twenty-meter-high green stone.
These rune lines, all Strength Runes, would burst forth endless light when activated by a powerful strike.
"Now, the first candidate, Wang Luo, begin your test!"
The nine hundred and sixty-eight candidates participating in the selection for true discipleship, aside from Ye Chen, were all exceptionally talented Outer Sect disciples of the Taixuan Sect, and as the host of the selection event, Fairy Jia Luo had already memorized their details.
The first person called by Fairy Jia Luo, Wang Luo, was a gray-clothed youth with eight layers of True Qi, showing exceptional talent as someone with the qualifications to be selected for true discipleship.
Wang Luo stepped out from the group of candidates and approached the base of the massive green stone.
Facing the towering twenty-meter-tall boulder and the faintly visible Strength Runes on its surface, Wang Luo, being the first to be called, felt a touch of nervousness.
"The selection for true discipleship has finally started!"
"Who will join the eight Inner Peaks of the Taixuan Sect in the selection for true discipleship, will be decided by their performance!"
In the spectating area, countless Taixuan Sect disciples and those from other sects who had come to watch the selection event, grew excited as Wang Luo stepped forward to begin his test.
At the high platform of the mountain gate, the Rotating Pill Realm powerhouses and their Spirit Sea Realm disciples behind them all looked towards the massive green stone and at Wang Luo.
At that moment, Wang Luo, standing beneath the massive green stone, finally made his move.
He retreated ten steps, then the True Qi inside his body surged wildly; he swung his fist and rushed towards the huge green stone, and with a "boom," his fist smashed onto it.
Upon this strike, suddenly fifty-four Strength Runes on the massive green stone lit up sharply, and among those brightly lit runes, the thirty-third one turned a bright red.
"Wang Luo, eighth level of True Qi realm, someone of the normal eighth level would activate thirty-three Strength Runes. Wang Luo has activated fifty-four, exceeding by twenty-one runes!"
As Fairy Jia Luo announced the result, she waved her hand in the air, and a huge light screen appeared in the void.
On the screen, Wang Luo's name surfaced directly, with the number "twenty-one" written behind it!
It became clear to everyone that this first round of "Strength Test" was a comparison of the strength one could exceed beyond the normal level of cultivation.
Wang Luo, truly a genius Outer Sect disciple worthy of participating in the selection for true discipleship. A usual cultivator of the eighth level of True Qi could only strike thirty-three runes, yet he surpassed that by twenty-one runes, activating a total of fifty-four!
Clearly, Wang Luo was an outstanding figure just in terms of strength among the eighth-level True Qi disciples.
"Next candidate, Liu Qian'er, proceed with your test!"
Fairy Jia Luo's gaze then turned to a white-clothed girl in the assessment area.
Liu Qian'er, another eighth-level True Qi white-clothed girl, also stood out from the crowd.
With Wang Luo's test as a prelude, Liu Qian'er had become familiar with the Strength Test method; she didn't strike the green stone with her fist like Wang Luo did but wielded her sharp sword, rushing towards the stone, and ultimately, she activated an additional forty-six Strength Runes!
On the light screen, Liu Qian'er's name appeared above Wang Luo's, and behind her name, the number "forty-six" was noted.
